on new installations or newly filled tanks.
This is how long it might take for the air to be purged from the
hose. It will take less than 10 seconds for subsequent relighting. Do NOT continually press on the igniter
while you are purging the line. This will only cause premature wear and tear on the ignition. Occasionally
depress the igniter you will hear when the pilot light goes on. You can also see the pilot light through the pilot
access port that has a small rectangular cover at the base of the heater head. This is essentially the same
safety system that you have on your water heater.
6) Once the pilot is lit, continue to depress the control knob for about 20 seconds or until the pilot flame
remains lit after the control knob is released.
7) The heater may now be turned on to the full
“ON”
position for maximum heat output. If you turn the control
knob all the way back to the “PILOT” position the main burner will go off and the pilot flame will remain lit,
you can then re-
ignite the main burner directly from the “PILOT” position. A little smoke is to be expected
coming from the emitter and reflector at the first firing as the machining oils burn off.
If you turn the heater off and then have to re-light
1)
Turn control knob to the “OFF” position.
2) Repeat starting with STEP #4. You should not have to wait more than few seconds to re-
light the “PILOT”
light and then ignite the main burner. If the unit does not re-light as expected then turn it off and allow it to
cool for 5 minutes before trying again. If heater does not light using the push button ignitor, try lighting with
a long stemmed match. You will see a lighting hole above and to the left of the red ignitor button.
To Turn Off or Shut Down Heater
1) Turn the control knob in a clock-
wise direction to the “OFF” position. You may hear a slight popping sound
when the main burner shuts down. This is normal.
2) Lift the decorative cover up the post and turn the valve on the top of the propane tank in a clock-wise direction
to turn it off.
Storing your Heater and Insect Warning
Be sure control knob is in the “OFF” position and the cylinder valve is CLOSED.
When storing the heater please disconnect the tank from the heater at the regulator and LP cylinder. The tank
should be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area to be in compliance with ANSI Standard and NFPA National

hail, dust storms, and other blowing debris.
